Playing Catch-Up

Oh my, we have been busy here! So sorry to make you think we'd fallen off the face of the earth. We are alive and kickin'!

Our amazing friends Zack and Kelsey came up to their family's cabin in Divide, CO, which is only an hour and a half from us, and invited us to spend the weekend with them. It was so much fun, and absolutely needed! They got to meet our Lylah girl, and we talked, hiked, shopped, cooked, and got very little sleep. It was fantastic.

David has started referee-ing soccer for the church league on Saturday mornings. He has a blast watching little kiddos chase the ball around. Saturday mornings are my "me" time. I get to sleep in and relax, as I take my time waking up and getting ready. I've started working out more seriously, and I love it! For the first time, I'm actually starting to see muscle definition in my arms and back. It's been a process building my upper body strength, but it's coming along fantastically.

A couple of weeks ago we went to a country bar and went two-stepping. That was a blast. The thing to do out here is line dance. So we learned some line dances, hung out with friends, and two-stepped the night away. The bar had a live band, which was awesome, that sang covers and their own stuff. It was so fun to get to dance again. We danced so much in college, and now it rarely happens. It was a super fun night out.

We spent Easter with friends this year. We did a pot-luck at a friend's house, played corn hole, mafia, and headbandz, and ate tons of delicious food. It was so nice to have a place to go with other "orphans" to celebrate Christ.

Quick updates on us personally:

David is working hard in school and still loving his classes. He procrastinated a big paper, but fortunately finished on time- after spending every waking moment in the library. He has been moved to middle school only at the church. They felt like he connects best, out of all of the church staff, with the middle schoolers and want to fully utilize him there. So it's a good thing!

I am working, working out, and still leading my small group. We think that I may have become lactose intolerant, which stinks since I love milk and yogurt. I have been avoiding dairy this past week and am feeling so much better, although my taste buds are quite sad. I switched to coconut milk to put in my protein shakes. I fortunately cannot taste it in there, because coconut milk tastes like sweat. I am still on the job hunt…which is not going very well. Most places I apply don't even respond to me, and other places say I don't have enough experience or the right education. I feel like my degree is as good as a GED sometimes and like I wasted my money getting my degree. But I know the Lord has a plan and He has me here for a reason. So please be praying for opportunities for me.

I'm going to find more time to blog, and keep y'all better updated. I apologize again for the long lapse in writing.
